    @zedders you know you can get iron on hem tape and clip on curtain rings.

    So what do the good folks of TLB do about the sliding door one?
    Full length?
    Dangly?
    Fitted above door?

    Full length so one can
    Sit on Marmitehouse with door open
    Lay in bed with door open and not be seen
    Lay on the bed on night summer nights naked and no be seen, this one does not apply to uk camping.
    Change out of wet/dirty clothes without slamming the door and knocking more rust off.

  8. I agree - full length.
    we have a metal curtain track above the sliding door and slidey thingys connected to the curtain, and a tie back. So the curtain is out of the way when driving and during the day and nicely private at night

  9. Wired to the door .
    Gets a bit grubby as the door does what sliding doors do but other than that works well .
    I`m currently looking to sort out my curtains but will be using material similar to what`s in there at the moment , sort of a thick linen which won`t be as bulky as the commercial offerings and unlined which takes up less space = more window :thumbsup:
    Top man for having a go @zedders - you have far too much time on your hands these days :rolleyes:

    When one is standing in front of an industrial sewing machine, the choice being skip it and pay for sewing or have a go, what would you do? I've since checked the price of camper curtains. :eek:

    What did peeps do before magnets? I want to do that. :)

  14. You can use hook & loop (velcro) to join the curtains to each other

    I'll make tie backs and see how it goes. if no good I'll chop curtains. Best try that way round I think!

    Two self tappers and a bit of white springy net curtain wire stretched between the self tappers about an inch under the bottom of the glass. Draw the curtain and then tuck it under the wire which holds the curtain into the door at the bottom.
